"Fossils of Pennsylvania" is an online reference written by geology students at the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown. This online reference is intended to provide relevant information on the evolutionary history of each taxon, a discussion of important anatomical features, and a guide to identification for the important fossil groups found in Pennsylvania. Please check back, as new taxa will be added periodically.
